INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting Power to Receiver:
Using sufficiently heavy gage wire, (not included), connect +12vdc and Ground wires to the wire
from the Electric Cylinder marked POWER IN using the crimp connectors supplied. The
polarity must be correct as follows: +12v on the BLUE wire, and GROUND on the
BROWN wire. Power may be supplied from the fused side of the ACCessories on the ignition
switch so that the Receiver is only powered while the vehicle ignition key is on or alternatively,
connected using an inline fuse directly to battery power. When the Power ON/Off switch on the
bottom of the Receiver is turned on the Red LED indicator light should be ON indicating normal
operation.
Electric Cylinder Installation:
Before mounting the Electric Cylinder on the end gate, determine the correct location for installing
the mounting tabs by extending and retracting the cylinder to ensure required stroke. This can be
accomplished once power is supplied to the Receiver by pressing the ENDGATE manual switches
on the Receiver.
Ensure the grain chute operates freely. Position the mounting tabs such that when the grain chute is
fully open the cylinder is not quite fully retracted. Then check to ensure that the distance to fully
close does not exceed the electric cylinder stroke length and that the electric cylinder can be
mounted free of any obstacles.
Weld or drill/bolt the mount tabs in position on the vertical center-line of the grain chute and box
end panel at the desired positions.
Attach the cylinder main body to the top mount tab using the bolt and locknut supplied. Attach the
cylinder piston to the moveable grain chute with the snap pin supplied. Route the electrical wire
and connect using the insulated crimp terminals supplied. Secure all wires using the cable ties
provided.
NOTE: The existing lift handle on the endgate need not be removed, however, it must not be able
to lock in any position. This could cause the electric cylinder to stall resulting in reduced service
life or destruction.

connection with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of
property, loss of revenue or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
Hoist Driver Installation:
Warning: Be sure truck hoist is securely blocked and valve lever
activated safely in both directions before beginning
installation!
Before beginning the installation carefully note which direction the lever arm on the valve moves
for “up” and “down” and note the Hoist Driver movement as indicated on the label.
With the truck box blocked and resting securely and the engine shut off, operate
the hoist control in both directions to ensure there is no pressure on the
hydraulic valve and the safety blocks are securely positioned.
Measure the distance the valve lever arm moves in either direction from its center rest position at
the mounting pin.
The hoist driver replaces the existing flexible cable control by bolting directly in its place on the
top of the hydralic valve/pump reservoir.
Disconnect the existing flexible cable control from the valve arm and unbolt the cable from the
reservoir bracket.
Select the appropriate hole to install the Hoist Driver Push Rod. The distance from the center of the
Hoist Driver Shaft Arm to the selected hole should be roughly the same as but not greater than
the distance the valve lever arm moves in either direction from its center rest position at the
mounting pin. The Hoist Driver Shaft Arm is designed to turn 80 degrees in either direction. If it is
stalled in either direction because the valve lever arm is not free to move, the Hoist Driver may be
damaged or destroyed.
Slide the Hoist Driver Push Rod through the valve lever arm cable clamp and bolt the Hoist Driver
to the reservoir mounting tab using the 5/16 x ¾ bolt, nut, flat washer, and lockwasher, provided.
Properly installed, the Hoist Driver Push Rod should be at right angles to the Hoist Driver Shaft
Arm. Ensure there is clearance for the movement of the valve lever arm, push rod, and shaft arm.
Tighten the existing valve lever arm cable clamp on to the Hoist Driver Push Rod.
Connect one end of the pre-wired 4 conductor hoist cable back to the Hoist Driver. Route the other
end to the Receiver and connect to the Receiver HOIST CONTROL connector. Secure the cable to
the truck chassis as required. Note: It does not matter which end is which.

General Operation:
RECEIVER:
The Receiver is equipped with a Power On/Off switch on the outside of the case. When the switch
is ON, the Red LED should be lit indicating normal operation.
The Receiver is equipped with an 8-position switch used to set the user security code. The security
code is provided to prevent unwanted operation of the Receiver by other devices. Only a
Transmitter with identical switch settings will be able to "talk" to this Receiver. When the switches
are set identically and the transmitter "talks" to the Receiver, the yellow “RECEIVE” light will
come on. This indicates that valid data with a matching security code has been received. Position
these switches to any desired On/Off pattern for your own security code. REMEMBER: The 8-
position switch on the Transmitter must be set IDENTICALLY. To access the security code switch,
remove the 6 screws securing the case from the rear and open the case.
NOTE: This is a TRI-STATE switch.
Each of the 8 switches has 3 positions which must
be identically matched to the corresponding Trans-
mitter/Receiver.
These code switches are fully compatible with 8-
position Two- State On/Off switches by using the
“+” setting as ON and the “O” setting as OFF.

Brehon Agrisystems Inc. is not responsible or liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in
connection with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of
property, loss of revenue or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
The Endgate and Hoist can be operated using the Transmitter, or alternatively, by pressing the
desired UP/DOWN arrows on the Receiver to activate the Manual Switches. Whenever the endgate
or hoist is operating, the Green LED indicating power to that device, will be lit.
Only one device can be operating at a time. The Hoist Driver will return to its Off (Neutral)
position before allowing any other output. The Manual Switches have priority over the Transmitter
signal when the Hoist Driver is in its OFF position.
The Receiver has two automatically resetting fuses. Fuse F1 (1 Amp) is intended to protect the RF
receiver and data circuitry, and Fuse F2 (10 Amp) is intended to protect the relays from overload.
These fuses will automatically reset when cooled
TRANSMITTER:
The Transmitter is powered by a 9v battery which, when installed, should light the red "power"
light when a switch is pressed. If the battery does not exceed 7 volts the Power light will not come
On, indicating battery replacement is required.
Set the 8-position switch to your own security code which matches the code on the Receiver to
which it is to "talk". Note that any number of Transmitters can "talk" to the same Receiver as long
as they have the security code which matches the receiver.
To access the Transmitter security code switch or battery, remove the 4 screws in the back of the
Transmitter case and open the case.
NOTE: The STOP button shown/included on the Transmitters is NOT USED as both the Hoist and
Endgate only operate while a button is held.
Think Safety:
Do Not install or operate where
damage to property or persons may occur.

Rev 06131 11
Brehon Agrisystems Inc. is not responsible or liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in
connection with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of
property, loss of revenue or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
ENDGATE DRIVER:
The Endgate Driver will only operate while its transmitter button/ manual switch control button is
depressed. Release the button immediately when the endgate is fully opened or closed. Do not
operate in a stalled condition. This could result in reduced service life or destruction of the Endgate
Driver.
The Receiver power switch should be turned Off when not in use to prevent undesired operation.
HOIST DRIVER:
The G. Force Hoist Driver shaft arm is designed to move each way from center and stay in that
position until its transmitter button/ manual switch control button is released or, as a safety default,
until input signal is otherwise lost. It will then return to the center Off (neutral) position. This
results in a slight delay from the time the button is released until the hoist actually stops. The Stop
button on the transmitter is not used - the actuator automatically returns to the center (neutral)
position.
The Receiver power switch should be turned Off when not in use to prevent undesired operation.
Think Safety:
Do Not install or operate where
damage to property or persons may occur.
